Welcome to Lyra

Lyra is an arts organisation based in Greater Craigmillar (Edinburgh) that makes world-class artworks and creative projects for, by and with children and young people.

We run Artspace, a vibrant multi-arts venue in the heart of Craigmillar, with a 116-seat theatre, studio and foyer space, where we have been building a community of children and artists since 2012. Our cross art-form programme includes music, dance, theatre-making and creative industry skills, bringing children and young people together with world-class arts professionals from Scotland and abroad.

​

Since 2012, Lyra have created 14 artworks and performed over 145 times at home and abroad. An average of 2,000 participants have taken part in a range of artistic events and projects at Lyra each year during this time.
